Summary

SummaryI was raised in a remote village in Chiapas, Mexico, where our indigenous customs didn’t allow any deviation from the ancestral beliefs. When I accepted the Lord Jesus as my Savior, my community began to shun me. They took away my agrarian certificate, cut off my drinking water, and even barred my children from going to school πŸ˜”. For seven months, we endured life without basic public services. Yet in the darkest moments, my faith only grew stronger. Through persistent prayer with my family, we cried out to God, and He provided a legal advocate through Open Doors partners. That lawyer fought to reinstate my agrarian certificate, reconnect our electricity and water, and restore my place as a recognized member of the village. Today, we thank God for the miraculous turnaround. Our children returned to school, and we can once again work the land. Please pray that indigenous Christians in Mexico will have the freedom to worship Jesus without fear. πŸ™βœ¨

Mauricio* was brought up to follow the traditional customs of his indigenous community in Chiapas, Mexico. So when he became a Christian, his community began discriminating against him. Thanks to you and local Open Doors partners, Mauricio is being supported by a lawyer who has helped him to regain his standing in the village and retain his rights.
